Could not open library 'libvips.so.42': libvips.so.42: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[jrae]

Firstly thanks for vips and this gem! Great work.

Whilst writing this up, I'm not 100% sure this is the right place to ask for help but the error is the same as similar issues:

#176
#187

LoadError: Could not open library 'vips.so.42': vips.so.42: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
Could not open library 'libvips.so.42': libvips.so.42: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ruby-vips '2.0.17'
ruby '~> 2.5.7'
ffi - 1.11.3

I've tried multiple build packs to get ruby-vips deployed on heroku.

https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/brandoncc/heroku-buildpack-vips
https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/alex88/heroku-buildpack-vips
https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/verumex/heroku-buildpack-libvips

And building my own debian packages by following this blog

https://renchap.com/blog/post/building_recent_libvips_on_debian/

https://dronebase-buildpacks.s3.amazonaws.com/libvips-dev_8.6.3-1_amd64.deb
https://dronebase-buildpacks.s3.amazonaws.com/libvips-tools_8.6.3-1_amd64.deb
https://dronebase-buildpacks.s3.amazonaws.com/libvips42_8.6.3-1_amd64.deb

However this is the latest from heroku build logs..

Any tips would be appreciated. THanks

Hello @jrae,

Sorry, I'm not a Heroku expert :(

Where does your libvips.so.42 end up? If it's in one of the standard locations, you'll need to run ldconfig before ruby-vips can find it. If it's in a non-standard location, you'll need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to that directory.

I've made a dockerfile which builds and tests ruby-vips with the latest libvips on heroku18, if that's any help:

https://github.com/jcupitt/docker-builds/tree/master/ruby-vips-heroku18

You'll probably want to add some other loaders. It makes a libvips installed to /usr/local/vips, so it needs LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set to /usr/local/vips/lib.

[jrae]

Thanks a lot for this response! Really helpful

So far I can't find libvips.so.42 on the instance I'm deploying to which explains a lot :/

For this run I was using one of the build packs again. I would have expected it to be added along side glib dependency

Thanks again, it has narrowed the search. I will share progress here in case it is useful

[jrae]

Finally found this buildpack which allows me to deploy with heroku-16 (behind due to other dependency issues).

https://github.com/zoras/heroku-buildpack-libvips

Thanks @zoras!

However I'm now seeing

Vips::Error: VipsOperation: class "dzsave" not found

At runtime. Tried installing

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/libgsf/1.14/libgsf-1.14.46.tar.xz

with .vendor_urls based on this comment.

libvips/pyvips#65 (comment)

Still no joy. Will edit this comment when I find a solution.

[jcupitt]

Have a look at the output of libvips configure -- there's a line for libgsf.

If it can't find it, you probably need to adjust PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

[giovannibonetti]

Here where I work we have used this buildpack and it is working now! 🚀

Thanks John, its work properly...

This is what worked for me: https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/brandoncc/heroku-buildpack-vips

[tjerk-git]

I've added https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/brandoncc/heroku-buildpack-vips

But I still receive this error

Could not open library 'libvips.so.42': libpoppler-glib.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

configured an Aptfile with the following

libglib2.0-0
libglib2.0-dev
libpoppler-glib8

Been using

ruby "3.0.0"
gem "rails", "~> 7.0.0"

on Heroku with amazon S3 configured with ActiveStorage.

Any idea's?

Did you ever track this down to get it to work? I'm having the same issue at Heroku.

[jcupitt]

I would ask on brandoncc's github. Eg. this issue:

Newlywords/heroku-buildpack-vips#19

[samvandamme]

So I had the same problem on Heroku, took me a couple of hours to get this running. I am not using Docker.

I added this buildpack to my app:
heroku buildpacks:add heroku-community/apt --index 1

And the Aptfile in my root directory contains:

libglib2.0-0
libglib2.0-dev
libpoppler-glib8
libheif-dev
libvips-dev
libvips

Note: This added 140MB to my slug size, but at least it runs now.
